Sinister Kid is named after the unofficial mascot of our Congress Street brewery: a long forgotten, dismembered doll unearthed in construction rubble. We dusted off Sinister Kid and breathed new life into her, installing a new pipe leg and a wire arm. We quickly found a new use for her evil appearance: keeping an ever present, protective watch over our Congress Street brewery.
This is a special edition of our Belgian Strong Ale aged in sherry barrels and fermented with our native New England yeast culture. Appearance is a deep, opaque reddish-brown with mahogany lining and an off-tan head. Wild Sinister Kid Aged in Sherry Casks emits aromatics of dark fruit, charred oak, vanilla, and savory tobacco hints. This dark, strong ale displays complex flavors of dessert wine, stone fruit, oak, and a light tannic structure with mild acidity. A dry, warming finish with a creamy body rounds out the beer.
STYLE: American Wild Ale
ABV: 11%
HOPS: US Goldings
MALT: Pilsner, Abbey, Special B, Carafa III, Belgian Candi Syrup, Turbinado Sugar
